Table Top Racing Premium Edition

Playrise Digital

A fast and furious racing game that takes place on table-top race tracks.

It’s perfect for gamers who are looking for a console-quality experience.

$1.99 $1.99
Why we picked this?

This is one gorgeous racing game. You get to jump behind the wheel of 17 upgradable cars, and you must do everything in your power to be the first to cross the finish line. Tracks are littered with loads of oversized obstacles and hairpin turns, so you better be ready for a true challenge. Try to steer into the various boxes spread across the tracks to receive a random power-up and unleash it with a tap to take out your closest opponents. Table Top Racing includes single and multiplayer modes, eight tracks, third-party controller support, and 30 special events.

Table Top Racing’s graphics will simply blow you away, even if you’re not much of a gamer.

If you’re a bit behind on your iDevice upgrade cycle, you might want to skip this one. It requires quite a bit of horse power and won’t run smoothly on older devices.

Paint with motion with SpinArt.

Remember the Spirograph geometric drawing toy? It’s a lot like that.

$0.99 $0.99
Why we picked this?

With SpinArt, you don't need to have a single artistic bone in your body to create something unique. All you need is the willingness to take a spin. Tap the spin mode button to get things rolling, and then choose a brush size and color to splat paint on the canvas. The app includes 54 colors to choose from, more than 50 built-in canvas shapes, undo, and a variety of sharing options. Just make sure to unlock all of the content via the free in-app purchase before it’s too late.

If you enjoy creating abstract art, you won’t find an easier way to do it. Plus, you can actually print your designs on t-shirts! How retro is that?

The UI is a bit clunky, making it a tedious process to pick colors, shapes, and brushes.
